The rotunda art restoration is coming to a close! The painters have cleaned and repaired the decorative surfaces, and art conservators have completed their work on the muses. The inner dome is ready for another 30-40 years of life!⭐️
🌸🌸🌸 In our Cherry Blossom Era. 🌸🌸🌸 Photos by Joshua Iverson.
Bet you’ve never seen the stars in the #mistatecapitol dome this close before! While they look silvery in these photos, the gold stars are actually made of two tones of gold leaf carefully glued into place on the ceiling. All together there are 57 gold stars and 53 silver!
When the #mistatecapitol muses were installed in the 1880s, they were adhered to the walls of the dome with white lead paste. Art conservators working on the rotunda scaffolding found the muses to be in relatively good condition and began their treatment with a gentle cleaning.
Art conservators have been working on the muses in the #mistatecapitol dome. Tomasso Juglaris painted these allegorical figures on 8-by-5-foot canvases in his Boston studio in 1886. The muses represent art, agriculture, law, science, justice, industry, commerce, and education.
Ohio Deaf History Month, March 13-April 15, is celebrated with an exhibit by Ohio Deaf Friends of the Library in the Governor's hallway. It highlights news articles on deaf figures and historical events, alongside student artwork on deaf oppression. #OhioDeafHistoryMonth
Astronaut artifacts from space are displayed in the Map Room of the Ohio Statehouse. Thanks, @MottsMilMuseum for sharing your collection.
Welcome Spring! (Granite flowers until the real ones start to bloom.)
Lily of the Valley – symbol of innocence and purity. One of the first flowers to bloom in spring, lily of the valley symbolizes renewal and resurrection.
Until the real flowers bloom – we’ll have to enjoy representations in stone.
The Flag Room in the #NYSCapitol houses a collection of over 2,000 flags, the largest publicly held flag collection in the U.S.! Visit the Flag Room on your next walk through the building. Take a free guided tour, or peruse on your own. Plan your trip: empirestateplaza.ny.gov/tours/new-york…

(3/3) Above the symbols and flag reads the word “Liberty.” Painter William H. Powell confirmed the models for the painting were workers at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Powell completed the painting, which was commissioned by the Ohio General Assembly, in 1865. Photos:@TheOhioChannel
(2/3) In spite of the fact the painting depicts the Battle of Lake Erie during the War of 1812, the tattoos are reminiscent of Civil War sailors. The tattoo features a simplified version of the U.S. flag with more prominent symbols of stripes and flags around it. @TheOhioChannel
(1/3) While cleaning the painting, "Perry’s Victory on Lake Erie," new details were revealed. Some men featured in the painting have tattoos that were not noticed before. #PerrysVictory #OhioStatehouse #WilliamHPowell Photos by @TheOhioChannel
